FASTRAK Program Welcomes 47 Freshmen

Intensive learning, peer mentorship and personal guidance from faculty and staff are the pillars of CSE's FASTRAK program. Comparable to an educational boot camp, FASTRAK begins prior to formal orientation and aims to better prepare freshmen for the rigors of college. With a 75% retention rate within the program, it clearly works.

About the CASC

The mission of the Conklin Academic Success Center (CASC) at the College of Saint Elizabeth is to help students become independent, life-long learners by providing free, high-quality academic assistance to all students through one-on-one and small group tutoring in a wide range of content areas, as well as workshop presentations on study skills and learning strategies.

The CASC is also a resource for the academic community at large, including faculty and staff, for information on:

Learning styles;

Improving student motivation;

Enhancing student responsibility; and

Creating more effective assignments

Come to CASC! Our Center is located on the upper level of Mahoney Library. Our friendly staff welcomes all students. We offer tutoring in a variety of subjects by highly motivated, well trained tutors. In addition, students may also use our fully networked computers for research and word processing.
